I suggest scrapping "Christmas" altogether for something that goes directly to its meaning. How about "Virgin Birth"?

She just needs some time to sail the yacht and experiment with mama's pills and then come back to these fellas for some three-way action. Then she'll write a memoir about the whole thing and end up on Oprah until its discovered that she made the whole thing up as a publicity stunt to sell more books.
I've seen some great drag performances at competitions back in my hometown, I've seen some not-so-great ones. I think if the tradition is losing a following, I say more power to gays and lesbians! I am a gay man and I am for equality for all, but I have always cringed at the T being included in GLBT. For the past 15 or so years, the trannies and drag queens I've experienced are all sad clowns vying for attention. Not to mention that drag is the tradition of blackface and minstrelry and terribly misogynist. I doubt most women will feel no love lost for these hyper-feminine caricatures of their gender.
